Research claims that many companies in the US are calling back employees they fired and replaced by AI; and it is costing them more, as sacked employees now …

Nearly one in five US workers say they have experienced a surprising workplace reversal: their employer replaced them with artificial intelligence (AI), only to ask them to come back later, a report has found. According to new research from talent assessment firm SHL, this growing trend – which the firm calls “AI rebounding” – suggests several companies are learning the hard way that AI cannot do everything human employees can. And bringing those workers back is proving expensive.

The SHL survey, conducted in June and July, and published recently, found that 19.1% of US respondents had been replaced by AI and subsequently asked to return to their jobs.
